To Be Continued: Andrew Sean Greer & Tom Perrotta
General Admission Pass required for entry
Get ready to laugh and maybe cry with bestselling, award-winning authors Andrew Sean Greer (Less Is Lost) and Tom Perrotta (Tracy Flick Can’t Win) as they discuss their new sequels with Steph Opitz of Bookshop.org.
In the follow-up to the “bedazzling, bewitching, and be-wonderful” (New York Times) best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning Less: A Novel, the awkward and lovable Arthur Less returns in an unforgettable road trip across America in Andrew Sean Greer’s Less Is Lost. With all of the irrepressible wit and musicality that made Less a bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning, must-read breakout book, Less Is Lost is a profound and joyous novel about the enigma of life in America, the riddle of love, and the stories we tell along the way.
Tracy Flick Can’t Win is a pitch-perfect novel about ambition, coming-of-age in adulthood, and never really leaving high school politics behind—featuring New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta’s most iconic character of all time. In classic Perrotta style, Tracy Flick Can’t Win is a sharp, darkly comic reflection on our current moment. Flick fans and newcomers alike will love this compelling novel chronicling the second act of one of the most memorable characters of our time.
